Children’s Liturgy of the Word (CLOW)
Liturgy of the Word for Children is a program in which the Sunday scripture readings are proclaimed and explained on a level appropriate to children in grades K-6 at the 5:30 pm Saturday Mass (six additional volunteers are needed to have CLOW at the 9 am Sunday Mass) from September through May. Any child in this age group may participate - no registration is necessary.
The children gather with their leaders in the front of the altar after the Opening Prayer and are sent forth by the Deacon or Priest. They process to the Music Classroom in the School which has been prepared for them with candles and prayer table and a lectern where the Word will be proclaimed. After a brief Welcome and Opening Prayer, they listen to the First Reading proclaimed from the Children’s Lectionary. They are then led in singing a Psalm and Gospel Acclamation. Next, the Gospel is proclaimed by one of the adult leaders. An age-appropriate reflection on the Word is shared by the leader through stories, discussions, or pictures - whatever the leader finds most appropriate to conveying the meaning of the scriptures. The children are then invited to share their own thoughts and ideas. Following this, the children profess a simple Act of Faith, pray their Prayers of Intercession, and finally return to their families at the time of the Presentation of the Gifts.
Children's Liturgy of the Word Lesson Plans, Videos, and Activity sheets are now virtual! Virtual CLOW will include a Catechist reading from Scripture, liturgical music, movement, visuals, activity sheets to accompany the weekly Scripture lesson, and additional enrichment activities to help bring the Word of God to life for His children in our St. Gabriel the Archangel Parish.

Kid’s Called to Serve (KCTS)
Kids Called to Serve invites children of the St. Gabriel parish in grades K-8 to come together and do something to improve their community. We believe that these short, kid-friendly acts of kindness will foster a love of philanthropy, build friendships, and be FUN!
We host about 8 events per year at various locations.
